Melanie brings to the table a deep understanding of and a breadth of experience of Veterinary Practice. Multifaceted comprehensive analysis of structure, staff, strengths and opportunities. Excellent interpersonal skills and thought provoking insights with clear conclusions for practice progression.

I chose VetAssist to help me in preparation for an upcoming interview. The service is specifically tailored to my own field of work in Veterinary practice. I could not find any other provider that offers this quality of personalised service. Melanie was so approachable and her professionalism was second to none. Melanie helped me develop knowledge of my skill set while teaching me how to best articulate this information in an interview scenario.

Melanie has used her experience as a veterinary nurse, coupled with expertise in design to provide fantastic solutions for our small animal clinic and surgery. Her design displays deep empathy for patients and their owners combined with an understanding of the Vets and Vet Nurses behavior to create a very positive veterinary experience for all.
